“Thatcher was the motivation for my entire political career. I hated everything she stood for.”

“Scotland has been re-energized, and people all over the country have become involved in - and informed about - politics and government in a way that I have never known before. In short, we have put ourselves firmly in control of our country.”

“Too often in the past, Scotland has been sidelined and ignored in the Westminster corridors of power, but that doesn't have to be the case anymore.”

“All through my life, I was hated on. When I was in middle school, they used to write in my rhyme book, 'You suck' or 'This sucks.'”

“When I was in my heyday, of course I had those who hated me. They were supposed to hate the opposition. But it's good, though. It feels good.”

“I must be the only artist whose image was hated by everybody.”
